Really ? Dammit, theres a bug in my PostScript printer then.

I told it to print a document in a one point font so I could
get 1" letters and it put dots all over my page. Anyone know 
how to fix this :-)

Bryce must have a preference. Any assembler will assemble code for you,
different assemblers have different features.

Dont mention it. Take egg, apply to face. :-)
